Along one of the best stretches of the Truckee River for fishing, a private landowner in Hirschdale has been blocking legal public access by placing no trespassing signs below the high water mark of the river. Longtime Hirschdale resident Matt “Gilligan” Koles, who's been a fly fishing guide on the Truckee River for more than two decades, has been fighting these illegally placed signs, as well as dealing with aggressive intimidation tactics involving drawn firearms by the landowner. The Truckee is considered a navigable river, meaning the public has legal access to the river below the high water mark. Nonetheless, the illegally placed signs have not moved, and the intimidation has scared most of the public away. In response, last fall, Matt and a group of fly fishing friends formed @truckeeriverpublicwaters – a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to protecting legal public access to the Truckee River. In Episode 63, the boys chat about the importance of the Truckee River, a bit of its history, a little about fishing and a lot about the access struggle community members in Hirschdale have been facing and what we as the public can do to ensure legal access is preserved. 2:00 – PowBot growing up fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike in Michigan.7:25 – Trail Whisperer growing up fishing at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.13:00 – The importance of the Truckee River to the Reno/Tahoe region.16:45 – Truckee River public access issues are happening in Hirschdale.19:35 – The story of OTB and Deer Creek trail access issues.24:00 – Public vs private land access issues and knowing your access rights.27:35 – More reminiscing about Cape Hatteras.29:10 – Whatcha been riding?30:45 – Truckee River Trivia – the river doesn't start in Lake Tahoe, there's an Upper Truckee River.31:35 – Introducing Matt “Gilligan” Koles and Truckee River Public Waters.35:30 – Senator Newlands (Newlands Act) bought a bunch of land and diverted the Truckee River.38:45 – Matt's story moving to Hirschdale and creating Gilligan's Guide Service.43:30 – What makes the Truckee River so special for fly fishing?46:10 – Lake Lahontan and the origins of the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout – a native prehistoric fish.48:09 – Some unique facts about the Truckee River.49:45 – The Paiute Tribe of Pyramid Lake, water rights, drought and the reservoir system feeding the Truckee River.55:00 – Truckee River Public Waters – preserving public access along the Truckee River.56:30 – The current public access issues people are facing currently in Hirschdale.1:05:15 – The confusion over the “high water” mark on the Truckee River.1:19:00 – The Hirschdale bridge is the main access point for the Tahoe Pyramid Trail.1:22:00 – What should the public do regarding legal access to the river in Hirschdale?1:25:30 – What if you get harassed by a landowner?

#708 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/708 Presented By:  TroutRoutes, On DeMark Lodge, Stonefly Nets, Grand Teton Fly Fishing If you want to have more success fly fishing lakes, you need a good understanding of how lakes work—knowing how lakes work helps you get to the right spot at the right time, no matter the season. You've probably heard the saying that 90% of the fish live in 10% of the water,  and it's true for lakes just like rivers and streams! In this two-part series on how lakes work, Phil Rowley and Brian Chan break down everything you need to know about fishing lakes effectively. About our Guest   Brian has spent over 30 years as a fisheries biologist for the provincial government, specializing in managing trout lakes in the interior regions of British Columbia. Over the years, he worked on hundreds of lakes, managing them, stocking them, setting regulations, and carrying out habitat protection and enhancement work. Brian is also an ambassador for several fly fishing and boating companies, including Scientific Anglers, Sage Fly Rods, Islander Reels, Marlin Boats, Semperfli Fly Tying Materials, and Daiichi Hooks. He is a passionate fly fisher and fly designer, and together with Phil, they've put their expertise to good use through their online fly shop. Check out Brian and Phil's Stillwater Fly Fishing Store.  Episode Chapters with Brian Chan on How Lakes Work Lakes aren't all the same, and knowing how they work is key to becoming a better stillwater angler. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Lake Productivity and pH Three Lake Classifications Different Zones in a Lake Lake Productivity and pH pH is a scale that measures how acidic or alkaline a lake is, with 1 being super acidic and 14 being super alkaline. The pH level affects the water chemistry, impacting how well the lake supports aquatic life, from insects to fish. What's the Ideal pH for Trout Lakes? The best pH for trout lakes is between 8 and 9.2. This is the sweet spot for plant growth and lots of invertebrates, which are food for trout. If the pH exceeds 9.2, the water becomes too salty for trout, and it would not be easy for them to survive.  For example, lakes like Pyramid Lake have a pH above 9, which is perfect for Lahontan cutthroat trout but challenging for rainbow trout. The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning small changes in pH can make a big difference in fish survival.  Brian explains that pH levels in lakes aren't always the same and can change over time due to several factors:  Spring snowmelt helps keep lakes balanced by flushing in nutrients, but the lake can get too salty without it. Human activities like logging can change water flow and impact the lake's chemistry. Climate change is also a significant factor, as some areas aren't getting the same snowmelt they used to, causing pH to rise.  Marl and Chara Shoal How Lakes Work: Three Lake Classifications Lakes can be divided into three categories: oligotrophic, mesotrophic, and eutrophic. These classifications help us understand which lakes are better for fishing and support healthy fish populations.  Knowing the type of lake helps anglers figure out why one lake might be an excellent spot for big trout, and another might not be as productive. Oligotrophic Lakes Oligotrophic lakes are big, deep, and well-oxygenated, with lots of water flowing in and out. The flushing rate in these lakes is high, meaning the water changes quickly, so there isn't much shallow water for plants to grow.  Because of this, these lakes have limited food sources for trout. Fish here mostly survive by eating other fish, not just insects. Mesotrophic Lakes Mesotrophic lakes are a step up from oligotrophic lakes in terms of productivity. They're still large but a bit shallower, and they often have small rivers or creeks flowing in and out. The lake has a bit more shoal areas or littoral zones, so some plant life grows in those shallow water areas. Eutrophic Lakes Eutrophic lakes are the gold standard when it comes to trout fishing. They're shallow, nutrient-rich, and full of life. These lakes are often less than 50-60 feet deep and have lots of shallow areas for plants to grow.  These lakes' flushing rate is slow, so they stay nutrient-rich for longer. Chironomid fishing is also incredible here due to the muddy bottoms.  Different Zones in a Lake Lakes have different zones, and understanding them helps anglers know where to fish at various times of the year.   Littoral Zone The littoral zone, or shoal area, is the shallow water at the lake's edge. This is where sunlight can penetrate to the bottom to create photosynthesis. It's usually 7 to 8 meters deep.   The littoral zone is where all the vegetation grows and where trout and other fish species feed, particularly in the spring to early summer and again in the fall, right until freeze-up. This is the zone where we spend the bulk of our fishing time—whether it's 5 feet of water or 22, 23 feet of water—this is the prime area.  Limnetic Zone The limnetic zone is the open water area in the middle of the lake, just beyond the littoral zone. Here, sunlight still penetrates, but it doesn't reach the bottom. This means there's no vegetation growing like in the shallows, but it's still a prime habitat for zooplankton, which trout love to eat. Although this zone has less food diversity, the zooplankton and deep-water hatches make it an essential spot for fish. In the warmer months, fish move out of the shallow water and into the limnetic zone, where the oxygen levels are better and the water is cooler. This is when fishing techniques like using blob patterns can be incredibly effective.  Thermocline  The thermocline is a transition layer between the warm upper water and cooler deeper water. It's usually a narrow band, about a meter in depth, where there's a sudden drop in temperature.  The thermocline keeps the colder water from mixing with the warmer water, which is why the deeper parts of the lake stay cool and oxygenated. Fish often move from the shallow waters to sit just above the thermocline, where they find cooler water and better oxygen levels, especially during hot summer months. Profundal Zone Beneath the thermocline in deeper lakes, there's another zone called the hypolimnion, the cold, deep water layer. It's the bottom part of the lake that remains cool and doesn't mix with the warmer upper waters Remember, all lakes are different, but understanding lake structure makes your fishing day more successful and enjoyable!   Show Notes:  https://wetflyswing.com/708

The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind.

Send us a textHave you watched any of the Missing 411 movies? Former police officer, David Paulides, is the guy behind them. He has been collecting records for countless strange missing persons cases across the United States for years, then compiling the ones that have the same fact patterns into books and movies. I've learned much from Paulides, and the disappearances, from staying safe outdoors to always telling someone where you are going, and where you expect to return, as well as place names.What do I mean? He's noticed that place names with Ape or Devil or Spirit in them; like Devil's Lake, Devil's Pass, Ape Canyon, Ape Lake, Spirit Lake, etc, there's an unusual amount of paranormal sightings in those areas, whether it be of Bigfoot, Dogman, Screaming Banshees or the like, the place names give away ancient secrets of the land.That's what led me to this topic.

A major wildfire has burned more than 15-thousand acres northwest of Los Angeles, forcing evacuations and closing Pyramid Lake. It's the first big blaze of the 2024 fire season, with another, smaller wildfire igniting near Lancaster, which has since been contained. It's only mid- June, with the peak of fire season far off, but we've already had a couple of brief heat waves and after a wet winter and early spring, the late spring has brought record-breaking heat across the West. What does that portend for this year's wildfire season? El Niño is on the wane, it looks like a La Niña is coming, what could that all mean?  For more on all of this, KCBS Radio anchor Patti Reising and KCBS Insider Doug Sovern were joined by Noah Diffenbaugh, the noted climate scientist who is a professor at Stanford University's Doerr School of Sustainability, and a Senior Fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment.

Water Master season is a special time at Pyramid Lake. What's a Water Master you ask? Well, it is the best damn kickboat on the market, and they are our favorite vessel to get out and chase the world's largest cutthroat trout when they start moving into the deep. Boat season begins in May and runs until end of season on June 30th, then we start all over again on Oct 1. Morgan Kane, Lead Guide at Pyramid Fly Co, joins us on this podcast to share his thoughts, experience, and knowledge on this incredible apporach to trout. Keep in mind this boat is perfect for any stillwater, and is equally at home on rivers as well. Hope you enjoy the podcast and look forward to having you join us on the water for some late season trout hunting! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bearfish/message

PLEASE SHARE THIS EPISODE in your social media so others who loves strange and macabre stories can listen too! https://weirddarkness.com/contrary-chemtrails/IN THIS EPISODE: The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the belief that long-lasting condensation trails, also known as “contrails” are in fact "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents purposefully left in the sky by high-flying aircraft, sprayed for nefarious purposes and undisclosed to the general public. The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind. (Water Babies Aren't As Cute As They Sound) *** According to the Bible, no man knows the day Christ will return. But that didn't stop William Miller from predicting anyway. Not once, but three times – and he was wrong, three times.

It's supposed to be a podcast highlighting the experiences of a few Chukar Chasers out at Pyramid Lake, but somehow evolves into a casting call for the streaming series "Alone". Amazing what topics pop up when you are sitting in a Jerry boat in a hot Reno Garage with two cult, er, Chukar Chasers. What emerges is mind numbing, entertaining, grimacing, and surreal all at the same time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bearfish/message

In Summer 1983, Max Jones jumped on a strange new contraption called a #mountainbike and went looking for trails to ride around #laketahoe. There wasn't really any singletrack until he discovered an abandoned flume line running high above the east shore of the lake. After a few failed attempts, Max finally uncovered the overgrown track, taking five hours to “ride” only four miles, fighting through brush and hundreds of downed trees. For the rest that summer, Max cleared the trail with nothing more than hand tools and dogged determination. 40 years later, thanks to Max's efforts, the Marlette Flume Trail has become the most scenic trail in the world and a gem of recreation in Lake Tahoe. Max and his wife Patti have built a life and career around the Flume Trail, promoting the Great Flume Race for more than a decade, starting Flume Trail Bikes to shuttle visitors and opening Tunnel Creek Café to feed them at the end of the adventure. This is the story of Max Jones, a Mountain Bike Hall of Fame inductee, the resurrector of the Flume Trail and an early pioneer of ecotourism in Lake Tahoe. 1:40 – PowBot gets a new vanity license plate – MRDRPOW – on his murdered out Crosstrek. 3:45 – Experiencing technical difficulties with our podcast player while interviewing Max Jones.5:20 – Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Max Jones reopening the Marlette Flume Trail. 10:00 – The first “winter storm” on September 1; a Pacific Low coming off the ocean!11:30 – Rose to Toads TAMBA ride is going to get snow Labor Day weekend. 13:20 – SENDY Send of the Week – 11 year anniversary of Joyce Beckering's passing – Tom's mom.

Mystic Outdoors Show Notes with Jeff Brady 03:56 - Jeff had a great season and noted The Wasatch Fly Tying and Fly Fishing Expo 04:20 - Jeff also noted a really cool event in Colorado called Trout Fest. Trout Fest Colorado is a one of a kind summer festival and celebration of conservation, education, and fly fishing. 04:32 - Jeff mentioned that shows are a pricey investment but it's so much fun to see everybody, see your friends and talk a little business with people and meet people like us. 04:48 - We talked about the cost of the booth at a typical show, and as per Jeff, it depends on the show; the range is going to be anywhere from 800 to 2,000 dollars for a 10 by 10 booth. 05:32 - Jeff also mentioned the travel cost, logistics cost,  shipping cost, and all those things. It's a major investment, but at the end of the day, typically, there's a big return that you look forward to. 06:29 - Jeff talks about Stillwater; that is one of the categories they are focusing on. Phil Rowley is Mystic Outdoors Ambassador and he's the host of our Littoral Zone Podcast. 06:55 - There's definitely been an increase in interest in Stillwater flyrods.

He also described Nico as a good fisherman and a good person. 50:48 - Jeff shared that salt species are fighters, and with trout fishing, large trout are certainly going to fight; they're going to take you for a ride; they're going to run; they're going to trim and get rid of you; but Jeff mentioned that salt fish are a unique experience. 51:26 - Jeff notes that he's a trout fisherman in Colorado. 51:58 - Jeff mentioned that he went out last weekend to Arkansas in Colorado to gold Medal Water and shared that they really do a good job with the river by making it so accessible; there are bathrooms in different locations, and it's really built out and nice all the way down the long river. 53:26 - We talked about their trip to Baja Mexico, and Jeff shared that they have a guidebook in Colorado, and someone helped them with booking and arranging things. 56:00 - For Stillwater fly fishing situations, they recommend their Mystic M Series in the 10' 3" 6 weight, their M-Series Spey rod comes in at 12' 3", the M-Series Switch rod and Micro-Spey rods are built in an 11' 3" design, and also JXP in the 9-foot 6-weight. This high-performance fly rod is a great fit for making long casts on lakes in windy situations. You might also consider the Reaper X 9-foot, 7-weight rod.

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/448

Can you really catch giant cutthroat trout in the desert? Are they truly a native species? And do they really fish with ladders? You'll find out in my interview with Orvis-endorsed guide Mike Anderson [45:23], who guides for the Reno Fly Shop. In the Fly Box this week, we have some wonderful comments and thought-provoking questions, including: I can keep the knots in my rubber legs on hopper patterns. How do you do it? What common fly-tying materials can I get from animals I have harvested, what parts should I use, and how to you prepare and store them? What is the advantage of going from 140 denier tying thread to 70 denier and when and why should I use it? A listener explains why he welcomes new people to the sport. I just got an intermediate line for fishing in lakes. Will it be useful in streams? I have an old rod with a loose ferrule. Is there any way of fixing it? Is my 9 ½ foot 6-weight rod too light to throw big articulated flies for bull trout? I know trout lie in seams in a river. Will steelhead be in seams as well? Can I use sewing thread for tying flies? My double surgeon's knots keep breaking. What am I doing wrong? Are there special fighting techniques when you hook a fish on a downstream drift? Why do people tell me to fish at high tide, when I can walk out farther at low tide? Can I swing a streamer in salt water? Do changes in air temperature affect fish in the ocean as much as in fresh water? What do I do to take my trout fishing to the next level? What should I concentrate on? Why are bamboo rods typically shorter than graphite, and how do I travel with a two-piece bamboo rod? I am losing more fish with large flies than I do with small flies. What is the issue?

The scientific community has dismissed the theory, but others insist the truth is simply being covered up. Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? We'll look at the controversy over contrails. (Contrary Chemtrails) *** In 1947, Major Jesse Marcel was sent to a crash site near Roswell, New Mexico to investigate what happened. We all know the story from there – the strange metal, the alien bodies, the confiscated extraterrestrial technology, the weather-balloon story we initially believed and then didn't believe. Now, more than seven decades later, Jesse Marcel's grandchildren are speaking up about their knowledge of what happened at Roswell. (The Roswell Grandchildren) *** If you look up the term “water babies” on the net, you might find something akin to swim classes for newborns and toddlers. But if you mention the term “water babies” near Pyramid Lake in Nevada, a much, much darker scene comes to mind. (Water Babies Aren't As Cute As They Sound) *** According to the Bible, no man knows the day Christ will return. But that didn't stop William Miller from predicting anyway. Not once, but three times – and he was wrong, three times.
